Part of Vespa-Mode
Theme: Haptic technology, mechanical feedback, sensory augmentation.
Research Contribution:
- Inquiry Focus: How can haptic feedback enhance the realism of virtual riding by simulating road texture, engine vibrations, and braking forces?
- Disciplines: Mechanical engineering, robotics, and human-computer interaction.
- Outputs: Haptic actuator designs, control system blueprints, and user feedback reports.
Engagement for New Students:
- Assist in early vibration motor testing and materials selection.
- Participate in prototyping and calibration of feedback mechanisms.
- Learn how tactile cues contribute to immersive realism in VR systems.
Questions
- How can haptic feedback simulate road texture, engine vibrations, and braking forces?
